I don't think you could sell Miller Lite, Bud Lite, Coors, etc.  for any
price in Oz, New Zealand, or other places where real beer, ale, and stout
is available.  The only thing people here in the Pacific NW would use
Miller Lite for is slug bait.

It is necessary for the welfare of society that genius should be
privileged to utter sedition, to blaspheme, to outrage good taste, to
corrupt the youthful mind, and generally to scandalize one's uncles.
